Atonement

Atonement in a dream carries the warmth of things set right — joyous communion with friends, courtship coming to a happy end, fears about loss easing. The dream tends to touch reconciliation and repair, and to ask where we are mending a breach, and what relief comes when the account is settled.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for atonement, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

Means joyous communing with friends, and speculators need not fear any drop in stocks. Courting among the young will meet with happy consummation. The sacrifice or atonement of another for your waywardness, is portentous of the humiliation of self or friends through your open or secret disregard of duty. A woman after this dream is warned of approaching disappointment.
